Does anyone have any experience to share about turmeric with black pepper? I have it but I haven't tried it yet. I'm doing very well but I've heard so many positive things about it I thought I'd try it.

Some say the black pepper lowers liver function to allow you to absorb more turmeric/curicumin into the body. If so, I might hold off as I haven't had my liver function checked in a while. Please let me know your thoughts, Thanks!

Yes, I take 1 tablespoon of Organic Turmeric and then I take 1/4 tea spoon of Black Pepper. I also noticed that taking a bit of oil, either a fish oil pill, some coconut oil, or butter, also increases the effectiveness.

Turmeric, for me, takes a few days (sometimes 10) to "load up" to its effective level. I hardly notice it, but what I do notice is that if I run out I am in a lot of hurt. Before taking it, I had extreme back problems and joint pains. A few times I just fell down for no reason. I do not know if it is because of my treatment, or turmeric, or both, but I have not fell down or had extreme back pain (where I cannot leave my bed for the day) since starting this protocol.

This is a herb that I think I will be taking for life. I recommend it to everyone.

Also it has the ability to block "bad thoughts"

I've often looked at it as either fat or black pepper/bioperine, purely because black pepper is quite susceptible to mold, so seems so coconut oil would be a safer bioavailability booster!

Turmeric only becomes a anti inflammatory when it is paired with black pepper. Without the pepper it does not aide our systems. You are getting increased relief with fish oil due to the anti inflammatory properties of omega 3's

You can also get turmeric without the black pepper in a form that absorbs well. A form that is hydro-soluble does not have to use black pepper to improve absorption. So, if you are sensitive to the black pepper this may be an option for you.

Of course, check with your doctor before beginning a new supplement.
